That said, here are a few pointers. I have participated in LOTS of bear drills at a gathering of industry people.

I tend to carry a 1911 .45 frequently in black and grizz country.

Do you cast the 45 bullets yourself? What mould do you use? Will the flat point bullets also work in a standard issue Colt 1911A1?

No I do not cast my own.

To answer the second question, it would depend on the era of Colt 1911. Early 1911s were designed to run on military ball ammunition and in order for them to work with any other ammo such as semi wadcutters or various other profiles it required some work. Later Colt modified their feed ramps/barrels to accept different, more modern projectile profiles.

That said, this bullet/ammo was developed using various 1911s, as well as HK USP, S&W 3rd Gen guns, Glock .45s, etc. It feeds in various .45s quite nicely.

My Les Baer 1911 is built to tight tolerances and this ammo runs through it extremely well.
